I never paid particular attention to national park sizes until seeing your comment. "Everything is large and far away" is just part of the mindset in the US. :) Looked them up, and Nigeria would only rank as #23 for total land area compared to the US national parks... Crazy.

I’m teetering on this edge currently. “Oh, I haven’t made GitHub contributions to my two open source projects in awhile, and I need to brush up my coding skills in case I cannot find another Director level job, and …” then I’m exhausted and dreading the next day’s meeting schedule.

[Solution] I disabled BitLocker within Windows, then installed MiniTool Partition Wizard Free 12.8. Using MiniTool, (now that the partition was showing as NTFS and not BitLocker), it allowed me to set a new smaller size, with a prompt to reboot (cannot modify the C: partition while in use).

The system rebooted and before Windows loaded, the partition app did it's thing. Windows then started normally with the smaller partition and no errors.

I’m disabled BitLocker, and then the free version of Minitool Partition was able to resize the partition as a reboot action. On to dual boot install!

Asking questions about the company, tools, processes, and other aspects is the right direction to find out if you want to work at a company.

If your only question is “when do/can I start?”, you have utterly failed the purpose of an interview. Also, before you have finished asking that “question “, it is likely the interviewer has already mentally thrown your resume in the trash.

I'm always curious about this particular feature/argument. From the aspect of "i can unit test easier because the interface is abstracted, so I can test with no database." Great. (though there would be a debate on time saved with tests versus live production efficiency lost on badly formed automatic SQL code)

For anything else, I have to wonder how often applications have actual back-end technologies change to that degree. "How many times in your career did you actually replace MSSQL with Oracle?" Because in 30 years of professional coding for me, it has been never. If you have that big of a change, you are probably changing the core language/version and OS being hosted on, so everything changes.

If this is the wrong place for this question, I’d appreciate directions to a better community. (noticing the downvote)

Or an alternate question, what other changes have they made that haven’t been noticed yet that is quietly degrading experience?

Equipment

  • Vespera telescope by Vaonis
  • Dual band filter to reduce star noise

Acquisition

  • About 30 minutes
  • Colorado backyard

Compared to the other posts, I feel silly, but also the reason I picked up this particular telescope, as it fits my lifestyle. :)

The current set up is wrong, without any doubt. Giving a remote agent direct access to control your biological functions is more wrong. :)
